What were you expecting?

Love at first sight

I have fallen in love with a pair of shoes. They’re the ultimate Disney princess shoes, and my heart aches for them.

I saw them on Tom & Lorenzo’s site, and for the first time in my life I was compelled to go to the designer’s website to see more. If it’s possible to fall further in love, I did when I saw them in midnight blue.

They’re calling out my name. “Buy me, Zannah! We’ll be so happy together!” I don’t have anywhere to wear them or anything to wear them with, but those are tiny details. Are they comfortable? Who cares? (Okay, I do, but let’s put that aside.) Do they come in narrow? Probably not. Are they more than I pay in rent? …..Yes. Yes, they are more than I pay in rent.

Drat.

I love them, I do, but the don’t-buy-them factors are adding up and the practical side of me says I don’t get to be a princess in $2150 shoes that don’t go with anything I own, that probably aren’t comfortable, that probably won’t actually fit, and will sit in my closet unworn because I don’t have any occasions to wear them.
